Leviticus 8

1 The Lord told Moses,

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Go with Aaron and his sons, and take their priestly clothes, anointing oil, the bull of the sin offering, two rams, and the basket of bread made without yeast,

Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil, and the bullock of the sin-offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened [bread];

3 and have everyone assemble at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.”

and gather all the assembly together at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

4 Moses did as the Lord instructed him, and everyone gathered at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

And Moses did as Jehovah had commanded him; and the assembly was collected at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

5 Moses told them, “The following is what the Lord has ordered to be done.”

And Moses said to the assembly, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded to be done.

6 Moses had Aaron and his sons come forward, and he washed them with water.

And Moses brought Aaron near, and his sons, and bathed them with water.

7 He dressed Aaron with the tunic, tied the sash around him, put the robe on him and then the ephod. He tied the waistband of the ephod around him, fastening it to him.

And he put upon him the vest and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the cloak, and put the ephod on him, and he girded him with the girdle of the ephod, and fastened the ephod on him.

8 Then Moses attached the breastpiece to Aaron and put the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece.

And he put the breastplate on it, and put on the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim;

9 He put the turban on Aaron's head and placed the gold plate, the holy crown, on the front of the turban, as the Lord had instructed him to do.

and he put the turban upon his head; and upon the turban, on the front of it, he put the golden plate, the holy diadem; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

10 Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the Tabernacle and everything in it to dedicate it all.

And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and hallowed them.

11 He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times to anoint it and all its utensils, as well as the basin with its stand to dedicate them.

And he sprinkled thereof on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand, to hallow them.

12 Moses poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head to anoint him and to dedicate him.

And he poured of the anointing oil on Aaron's head, and anointed him, to hallow him.

13 Then Moses had Aaron's sons come forward, dressed them tunics in them, tied sashes around them, and wrapped headbands on them, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

And Moses brought Aaron's sons near and clothed them with the vests, and girded them with the girdles, and bound the high caps on them, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

14 Moses brought the bull over for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

And he brought near the bullock for the sin-offering; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bullock for the sin-offering;

15 Moses killed the bull and took some of the blood. He used his finger to put the blood on all four horns of the altar to dedicate it and purify it. He poured out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar, and consecrated the altar so that it could be used to make people right.

and he slaughtered [it], and Moses took the blood, and put [it] on the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and cleansed the altar from sin, and the blood he poured at the bottom of the altar, and hallowed it, making atonement for it.

16 Moses took all the fat that covers the insides, the best part of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, burned all of it on the altar.

And he took all the fat that was on the inwards, and the net of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned [them] on the altar.

17 But the rest of the bull—the skin, the meat, and the waste he burned outside the camp, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

And the bullock, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung he burned with fire outside the camp, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

18 Moses brought the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

And he presented the ram of the burnt-offering; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram;

19 Moses killed the ram and sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

and he slaughtered [it]; and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar round about.

20 He divided the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces, and the fat.

And the ram he cut up into its pieces; and Moses burned the head, and the pieces, and the fat;

21 He washed the insides and legs with water and burned the whole ram on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering to be accepted by the Lord, as the Lord had ordered Moses to do.

and the inwards and the legs he washed in water; and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar: it was a burnt-offering for a sweet odour, it was an offering by fire to Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

22 Moses brought the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

And he presented the second ram, the ram of consecration; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram;

23 Moses killed the ram and took some of its blood. He put it on Aaron's right earlobe, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

and one slaughtered [it]; and Moses took of its blood, and put [it] on the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot;

24 Then Moses had Aaron and his sons come forward and put some of the blood on their right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then he sprinkled blood on all sides of the altar.

and he brought Aaron's sons near, and Moses put of the blood on the tip of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.

25 Moses took the fat, including the fat tail, all the fat on the insides, the best part of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them Moses took the fat—together with the right thigh.

And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the inwards, and the net of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and the right shoulder;

26 He took one loaf of bread without yeast, one loaf made with olive oil, and one wafer from the basket of bread without yeast that was in the presence of the Lord. He placed them on top of the portions of fat and on the right thigh.

and out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before Jehovah he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat and upon the right shoulder;

27 Then he gave them to Aaron and his sons, and waved them before the Lord as a wave offering.

and he gave all into Aaron's hands, and into his sons' hands, and waved them as a wave-offering before Jehovah.

28 After this Moses took them back and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering, a food offering to be accepted by the Lord.

And Moses took them from off their hands, and burned [them] on the altar, over the burnt-offering: they were a consecration-offering for a sweet odour: it was an offering by fire to Jehovah.

29 Moses then took the breast, his share of the ordination ram, and waved it before the Lord as a wave offering, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

And Moses took the breast, and waved it as a wave-offering before Jehovah; of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

30 Moses then took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood from the altar. He sprinkled both of them on the clothes of Aaron and his sons. This is how he dedicated he dedicated the clothes of Aaron and his sons.

And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood that was on the altar, and sprinkled [it] on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons' garments with him; and hallowed Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

31 Moses told Aaron and his sons, “You are to boil the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and then eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of offerings for the ordination, as I ordered: ‘It is for Aaron and his sons to eat.’

And Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the entrance of the tent of meeting; and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of the consecration-offering, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.

32 Afterwards you must burn what's left over of the meat and bread.

And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.

33 You are not to leave the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for seven days until the ordination ceremony is completed, because your ordination will take seven days.

And ye shall not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting seven days, until the day when the days of your consecration are at an end: for seven days shall ye be consecrated.

34 What was done today was ordered by the Lord as a means of making you right.

As he hath done this day, [so] Jehovah hath commanded to do, to make atonement for you.

35 You must stay at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for seven days, day and night, and follow the Lord's commands so that you will not die, for this is what I have been ordered to do.”

And ye shall abide at the entrance of the tent of meeting day and night seven days, and keep the charge of Jehovah, that ye die not; for so I am commanded.

36 Aaron and his sons did everything that the Lord had ordered through Moses.

And Aaron and his sons did all things that Jehovah had commanded by the hand of Moses.
